"Emotional Testimony: David DePape's Shocking Revelation in Paul Pelosi Assault Trial"

David DePape, on trial for assaulting Paul Pelosi, tearfully testified about his motivations, influenced by conspiracy theories and right-wing media, to "take down" high-profile figures demonized in right-wing media. DePape described his plan to confront Nancy Pelosi and other targets, aiming to expose their corruption and eventually secure a pardon from President Joe Biden. DePape admitted to bludgeoning Pelosi but claimed he thought he was dead. His defense argues that the charges do not fit because he was not targeting Pelosi due to her official duties. If convicted, DePape faces life in prison.
